How long?

[navygreen]

How long does it take children to learn that, no matter how many times they open the refrigerator to 'look and see,' the contents will not magically change?

For that matter, how long does it take husbands to learn that as well?

REPEAT after me Nicole... THEY WILL NEVER LEARN!

Sorry to be the bearer of such bad news.

hey - can I steal your user pic?

[waiting4heaven.livejournal.com]

sure :)

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

But this icon of yours is pretty cute, too. ;-)

[waiting4heaven.livejournal.com]

awww, thanks. snaowpainting kids are the happiest.

[flyingwolf.livejournal.com]

yeah, but why would *I* want to steal a pic of her kids? ;)

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

It is a great one, isn't it? I see so many great LJ icons out there...

[flyingwolf.livejournal.com]

this is one of my favorites

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Heehee, I remember seeing that one back then, too. Early last year sometime, wasn't it?

[flyingwolf.livejournal.com]

Yep.
January 15, 2005.

That was the day I realized Lauruska had gotten attached to LJ. (I already knew I was!)

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

LOL. And your icon is hilarious too!

[waiting4heaven.livejournal.com]

I like this one too

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

YES! That's another one that I see floating around rather a lot.

Can I take this icon?

[poetlady.livejournal.com]

I know it isn't fair to ask but it is so true LOL

Thanks for considering:)

[waiting4heaven.livejournal.com]

sure :)

[flyingwolf.livejournal.com]

ah crud. *I* haven't even learned that. And I'm the only one that buys groceries!

[waiting4heaven.livejournal.com]

haha, me too. rotflmao!

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Heehee. I don't think I do it much myself, and even if I did, it'd probably be with the freezer - that's where the chocolate is! ;-)

[iterrible.livejournal.com]

I um... still haven't learned that. Darn non magical food.

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

You're not alone, it seems. ;-)

[kristchan.livejournal.com]

I was here to say the same thing.


I figure if I look at it look enough, maybe I'll get hungry enough that it'll start to be appetizing.

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Maybe that's what the boys are trying to do as well. *shrugs*

[maryjo.livejournal.com]

If there is a way to "teach" them, please let me know as I have not found out the trick yet!

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

From the ensuing discussion, the chance of the lesson ever being learned is looking dreadfully dour. :-/

[maryjo.livejournal.com]

Oh great :o/

[devi-pavarti.livejournal.com]

I have a 31 year old in my house who hasn't learned that.

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I guess we'll be no better off in the next five years then, eh?

[jakflak.livejournal.com]

I'm thirty-something and I spend nearly an hour of each week staring blankly into the fridge.....

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

Somehow, Richie, I can *so* see you doing that. ;-)

[greencow.livejournal.com]

hahahah!

jon does the same thing. once i asked him if there was anything he was looking for. he admitted to thinking "this time i was hoping i'd see something new"

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

I think Philip might've said something to that effect years ago. *shakes head* Boys!

[redwink.livejournal.com]

Girl children learn it sometime between junior high and college.

Boy children? Well, frequently they marry without ever learning it.

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

LOL. You are probably right!

Its not that the contents change... its just that I so easily forget what the contents are! :-p
